Challenge 1: Finish Line

To complete this challenge, simply finish the level.

When the level starts, grab the nearby studs and follow the path into Magneto’s lair. Shortly after Magneto appears, he uses a magnetic field to create a giant version of himself. During the battle’s first phase, Magneto attacks by slamming the giant figure’s fist into the ground. Circle around the enemy and use your ranged attacks to hit Magneto from behind.

As Magneto turns to face you, adjust your position to stay behind him. Whenever a Brotherhood mutant approaches you, defeat the smaller enemy and resume attacking Magneto.

Continue attacking Magneto until his health is depleted. When Magneto retreats, several Brotherhood mutants appear in the area. Try to defeat all of the Brotherhood mutants before Magneto returns and begins the battle’s next phase.

During the battle’s second phase, Magneto uses his giant figure to sweep an energy barrier around the room. Dash away from the barrier and circle around Magneto. Use any combination of melee strikes and ranged attacks to chip away at his health. As the giant figure rotates, the barrier moves closer to your position. Dash away from the barrier and resume your attacks. More Brotherhood mutants arrive during this phase of the battle. Lure these enemies away from the barrier before you deal with them. Continue to attack Magneto until he flees the area

After Magneto retreats, a Brotherhood heavy mutant drops into the area. You must defeat this enemy to draw Magneto back into the area.

After you defeat the Brotherhood heavy mutant, Magneto returns and the battle’s final phase begins. Attack Magneto with any combination of melee strikes and ranged attacks. As you do, watch for the reticles that appear on the floor during this phase of the battle. Each reticle indicates a piece of falling debris. If a reticle appears near you, dash away to avoid the impact.

Avoid the falling debris and continue your attacks to destroy Magneto’s giant figure, then simply attack Magneto until you finish the level.

Challenge 2: Stud Collector

To complete this challenge, you must collect over 10,000 studs before the level ends.

Collect the loose studs near the starting location, then collect the studs in Magneto’s lair. The rest of your studs must be earned during combat. Try to counter a few enemy attacks to ensure that you complete the challenge before the battle ends.

Challenge 3: Minikit

To complete this challenge, you must collect the minikit hidden in the level.

After you unlock Free Play for this level, revisit the map with any telekinetic character. When the level starts, locate the crate on the platform to the left, then use telekinesis to move the crate to your starting location.

After the crate touches down, smash it to reveal the minikit.

Challenge 4: Magnetic Charm

To complete this challenge, you must defeat Magneto within the 120-second time limit.

As soon as the level starts, charge into Magneto’s lair to begin the battle. Dash behind Magneto and use a series of ranged attacks to deal damage from a safe distance. Defeat any Brotherhood mutants that pose an immediate threat, but try to keep your focus on Magneto until he flees the area. Defeat the Brotherhood mutants that appear until Magneto returns.

After the battle’s first phase, switch up your tactics. Use melee strikes to deal heavy damage to Magneto. Try not to engage the nearby Brotherhood mutants. Just dodge the incoming attacks as you focus on Magneto. Iron Man’s melee strikes deal a bit more damage than his ranged attacks. If you focus on Magneto, you should deplete his health very quickly.

To stay ahead of the clock, you’ll have to defeat the Brotherhood heavy mutant very quickly. Stop attacking whenever this enemy blocks, and consider using your Tag Move to deal some extra damage. When Magneto returns, just run in and hit him with a series of melee strikes to defeat him within the allotted time.

Challenge 5: Underdog

To complete this challenge, you must complete the level as a civilian character.

After you unlock Free Play for this level, revisit the map as civilian character. To make this challenge easier, switch to Iron Man when the level starts. Progress through the battle until you destroy Magneto’s giant figure, then switch back to your civilian character. Hit Magneto with a series of melee strikes until you defeat him.

Challenge 6: Clean Sweep

To complete this challenge, you must defeat 15 Brotherhood mutants before you finish the level.

To ensure that you complete this challenge, prolong the battle’s first phase to allow enemy reinforcements to arrive. Avoid attacking Magneto until you’ve defeated at least nine Brotherhood mutants.

Challenge 7: Frequent Flyer

To complete this challenge, you must use flight mode for the duration of the level.

Activate flight mode when the level starts, then head in to face Magneto. During the battle, you must rely on your ranged attacks and Tag Moves to deal damage. Other than that, the same basic tactics can be applied while you’re flying: Avoid incoming attacks as you chip away at Magneto’s health. Your ranged attacks are less powerful while you’re in flight mode, so the battle is bound to take a bit longer.

Challenge 8: Tag Me In

To complete this challenge, you must use Tag Moves to defeat four enemies.

It can be difficult to round up a group of Brotherhood mutants during this battle. Instead, plan on using at least two Tag Moves to complete this challenge. When the Brotherhood mutants appear during the battle’s first phase, approach one of the enemies and activate your Tag Move. Continue the battle to allow your Tag Move to recharge, then use it to defeat at least one more enemy. Repeat the process until you complete the challenge.

Challenge 9: No Tag Required

To complete this challenge, you must finish the level without calling on your Tag partner.

Iron Man is more than capable of finishing this level on his own. Simply refrain from calling on your Tag partner for the duration of the battle.

Challenge 10: Multi-Challenge

To complete this challenge, you must take less than five hearts of damage, avoid using any Super Moves, and complete the level within the 120-second time limit.

You need to move quickly to complete this challenge, but you also need to stay healthy. During the first phase, slip behind Magneto and use ranged attacks to damage him from a safe distance. Try to deplete his health quickly, but don’t take unnecessary risks. If a Brotherhood mutant approaches you, quickly defeat the enemy or dash away before you return to attacking Magneto.

Use ranged attacks to defeat the Brotherhood mutants that appear toward the end of the battle’s first phase. Stay back and focus on interrupting any incoming attacks. If you find yourself overwhelmed, activate your Tag Move to help clear the area.

After the battle’s first phase, use melee strikes to attack Magneto. Again, it’s very important to avoid any attacks from nearby Brotherhood mutants, and you need to defeat the Brotherhood heavy mutant as quickly as possible. Otherwise, just stay healthy, avoid using any Super Moves, and finish the level within the allotted time.
